Summary

  • August 25 is the date Sony set for its next Xperia launch, with the YouTube livestream starting at 11 a.m. Japan time, or 4 a.m. CEST on August 26 in Europe.
  • Sony did not name the device, but recent leaks point to the Xperia 10 VIII as the likely addition to the lineup.
  • Geekbench data suggests the 10 VIII will keep the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset used in the current model, signaling limited hardware change.
  • September was when Sony unveiled the Xperia 10 VII last year, so an August 25 event would bring the midrange refresh roughly a month earlier.
